Hi Faith! Welcome to planDisney.
Oh Boy! You are only a week away from arriving at
Walt Disney World Resort. You will have so much fun at the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. You can literally
step into classic works of art for fun pictures to share on social media and with family back home. Indulge in artful delights from one of the many
Food Studios.
As someone who often stays in the surrounding Orlando area while visiting Walt Disney World Resort, I like your plan of action. Here's the slight catch at this time with park-to-park Walt Disney World Transportation. Currently, Park Hopping begins at 2:00 PM. Thus,
direct transportation from one theme park to another begins slightly before that time. Also, please note, from January 22 to January 29, 2023, the
Disney Skyliner will be closed for refurbishment. However, Hakuna Matata! I have an alternate route for you. I would still park at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. Head to the bus pick-up area and hop on a bus to
Disney's Yacht Club Resort or any other boardwalk area hotel. Enjoy walking through any of the beautiful lobbies and scenery. You can approach the International Gateway entrance at the park opening right in World Showcase.
If time is not a factor, you could also jump aboard a FriendShip Boat to travel across Crescent Lake. Please note, there are several stops before reaching EPCOT. And finally, there is a walking path between Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your Walt Disney World Resort vacation question. We are always here to help our fellow guests!
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
